Ezekiel 35
1 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Du Menneskesøn! vend dit Ansigt imod Seirs Bjerg og spaa imod det!
“Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:
3 Og du skal sige til det: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Se, jeg kommer imod dig, Seirs Bjerg! og jeg vil udrække min Haand imod dig og gøre dig til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk.
Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.
4 Dine Stæder vil jeg gøre øde, og du selv skal vorde en Ødelæggelse; og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
5 Fordi du nærer et evigt Fjendskab og overgav Israels Børn i Sværdets Vold, i deres Trængsels Tid, den Tid, da Misgerningen medførte Enden:
For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.
6 Derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre, vil jeg gøre dig til Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig, efterdi du ikke har hadet Blod, skal Blod forfølge dig.
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.
7 Og jeg vil gøre Seirs Bjerg til en Ødelæggelse og en Ørk; og jeg vil udrydde deraf enhver, som drager frem og tilbage.
And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.
8 Og jeg vil fylde Bjergene der med deres ihjelslagne; paa dine Høje og i dine Dale og i alle dine Flodlejer, der falde de, som ere ihjelslagne med Sværd.
And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.
9 Jeg vil gøre dig til evige Ørkener, og dine Stæder skulle ikke bebos; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 Fordi du siger: De tvende Folk og de tvende Lande skulle være mine, og vi ville tage dem i Eje, da dog Herren var der:
For you have said, ‘Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,’ though the Lord was in that place.
11 Derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre, Herre, vil jeg gøre efter din Vrede og efter din Nid, som du har udvist formedelst dit Had imod dem, og jeg vil give mig til Kende hos dem, naar jeg dømmer dig.
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.
12 Og du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren, jeg har hørt alle dine Bespottelser, som du har sagt imod Israels Bjerge, idet du sagde: De ere ødelagte, os ere de givne til Føde.
And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: ‘They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.’
13 Og I have gjort eder store imod mig med eders Mund og brugt mange overflødige Ord imod mig; jeg har hørt det.
And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.
14 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar hele Jorden glæder sig, vil jeg gøre dig øde.
Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.
15 Ligesom du har glædet dig over Israels Hus's Arv, fordi den blev ødelagt, saaledes vil jeg gøre imod dig; du Seirs Bjerg og hele Edom alt sammen skal vorde øde; og de skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
